After a lot of hard work the first series of Noteworthy greeting cards are now finished. As you may

remember, Noteworthy is a collaboration between the Anderson Center Transition and Art De-

partments. All cards in the series are adorned with artwork created by our students and the handling/

packaging will also be completed by students

Noteworthy cards will come in packages of eight cards. Each package will contain four different card

designs and you will receive two of each card design. The cards measure 4.5x6 inches and are blank

inside. Price for each package of Noteworthy cards has yet to be determined, but all money raised from

their sale will go to fund various programs at the ACA.

Below are pictures of the art chosen for the first series of Noteworthy cards. We hope you like them!

Fall Themed Artwork Spooky Landscapes

Apples

3 Additionally, students have been cre-

ating these apple decorations. They

were made by coloring red con-

struction paper with “apple” col-

ors (i.e. yellow, greens, and red).

They then traced an apple shaped

template and cut them out. Leaves

were created in the same manner,

only this time students used “leaf”

colors (i.e. yellow and green). All

pieces, including a brown construc-

tion paper “stem,” were later

glued together.

Fall has come once again to the Hud-

son Valley and to the ACA Art

Room. Students have been hard at

work creating a series of seasonal art

projects.

The first, “Spooky Landscapes”

show a tree with fall colored leaves

and pumpkins.

Students used templates to create

their trees and fences. They made

leaves by ripping paper that they de-

coupaged with Fall colors. Also,

pumpkins were created by using

some leftover decoupaged paper.
